Swallowing Grandma by Kate Long is a book that surprise me in a very positive way – I
did not have any expectations about it when I started reading it, but soon I found myself really
enjoying every page of it.
It is a story of an 18-year-old Katherine living in a small town with her grandmother, not
knowing much about what had happened to her parents. We follow her everyday life, struggling
with everything that being an overweight lonely teenager involves. As the plot unwinds, the family
mystery begins to unravel and there are some unexpected twists in the end.
What I find very interesting is the narrative structure of the book – besides Katherine there
is another narrator telling part of the story, taking turns with her. However, most of the time we do
not know who this other narrator is, only in the end we understand everything.
The reason I liked this book so much is because it is written very beautifully, often funnily
but still sensitively.(www.bbc.com)

Brunetti was at the post office at seven-thirty the next morning, located the person in charge
of the postmen, showed his warrant card, and explained that he wanted to speak to the postman
who delivered mail to the area in Cannaregio near the Palazzo del Cammello. She told him to go
to the first floor and ask in the second room on the left, where the Cannaregio postmen sorted their
mail. The room was high-ceilinged, the entire space filled with long counters with sorting racks
behind them. Ten or twelve people stood around, putting letters into slots or pulling them out and
packing them into leather satchels. He asked the first person he encountered, a long-haired woman
with a strangely reddened complexion, where he could find the person who delivered the mail to
the Canale della Misericordia area. She looked at him with open curiosity, then pointed to a man
halfway along the table and called out, ‘Mario, someone wants to talk to you.’

The man called Mario looked at them, then down at the letters in his hands. One by one,
merely glancing at the names and addresses, he slipped them quickly into the slots in front of him,
then walked over to Brunetti. He was in his late thirties, Brunetti guessed, with light brown hair
that fell in a thick wedge across his forehead. Brunetti introduced himself and started to take his
warrant card out again, but the postman stopped him with a gesture and suggested they talk over
coffee.

They walked down to the bar, where Mario ordered two coffees and asked Brunetti what
could do for him.

‘Did you deliver mail to Maria Battestini at Cannaregio…?’

‘Yes. I delivered her mail for three years. I must have taken her, in that time, thirty or forty
items of registered mail, had to climb all those steps to get her to sign for them.’
 Brunetti anticipated his anger at never having been tipped and waited for him to give
voice to it, but the man simply said, ‘I don’t expect to be tipped, especially by old people, but she
never ever said thank you.’

‘Isn’t that a lot of registered mail? Brunetti asked. ‘How often did they come?’

‘Once a month,’ the postman answered. ‘ As regular as a Swiss watch. And it wasn’t letters,
but those padded envelopes, you know, the sort you send photos or CDs in.’

Or money, thought Brunetti, and asked, ‘Do you remember where they came from?’

‘There were a couple of addresses, I think,’ Mario answered. ‘ They sounded like charity
things, you know, Care and Share, and Child Aid. That sort of thing.’

‘Can you remember any of them exactly?’

‘ I deliver mail to almost four hundred people,’ he said by way of answer.

‘ Do you remember when they started?’

‘ Oh, she was getting them already when I started on that route.’

‘ Who had the route before you?’ Brunetti asked.

‘ Nicolo Matucci, but he retired and went back to Sicily.’

Brunetti left the subject of the registered packages and asked, ‘Did you bring her bank
statements?’

‘ Yes, every month,’ he said, and recited the names of the banks. ‘Those and the bills were
the only things she ever got, except for some were from?’

‘ Most of them came from people in the neighbourhood, complaining about the
television.’

Before Brunetti could ask him about how he knew this, Mario said, ‘They all told me about
them, wanted to be sure that the letters were delivered. Everyone heart it, that noise, but was
nothing they could do. She’s old. That is, she was old, and the police wouldn’t do anything. They’re
useless.’ He looked up suddenly at Brunetti and said. ‘Excuse me.’

Brunetti smiled and waved it away with an easy smile. ‘No, you’re right,’ Brunetti went
on, ‘there’s nothing we can do, not really. The person who complains can bring a case, but that
means that people from some department – I don’t know what its name is, but it takes care of
complaints about noise – have to go in to measure the decibels of the noise to see if it’s really
something called ‘aural aggression’, but they don’t work at night, they don’t come until the next
morning, by which time whatever it was has been turned down.’ Like all policemen in the city, he
was familiar with the situation, and like them, he knew it had no solution. (www.sparknotes.com)
